A rules-lite story intensive game focused on intrigue and interaction, where the players try to restore the rightful monarchy after a vicious coup.

The Strongest Link is a game that examines how we make decisions in a group setting. Political in nature, the rules are simple (nine pages total) but work to recreate groups from government to movie studio executives to your average gaming group.

You decide the setting, your individual character’s motivation and direction he’d like to take the group, and then play with your friends through four rounds of debate and vote-casting to ultimately choose who has the best idea (or strongest motivation/force of will) for the group to execute.

A game for 3 or 4 players in which characters converge on a struggling retail establishment seeking safety from a catastrophic situation like an alien invasion or zombie apocalypse. (Created for the April 2011 Ronnies using the terms “amazon” and “chains”)

Across history there exists a secret confederation amongst the great women of the world. How is this possible? They are the guardians of the Gates, they are the Queens of Time and Space.

You are all women; you are all slaves. Your goddess — called by many names but here Ninshu or the Lady in Chains — is a slave goddess, captured by alien gods and forced to serve them. She answers the prayers of ants, bees, slaves and prisoners: those whose will is not their own.

In Repose is a simple story telling game for 2-4 players. It’s intended to be played by parents with children at bed-time. The rules can be explained in a single sentence and provide just enough structure to make the game enjoyable.

The PDF is 4 pages (plus a title page) and includes the very brief rules, some tips to help the game flow better, an example of a story created using the game rules (called “The Bunny Party”), some notes and a few images.

In Repose was designed for the 2009 Two Games One Name game design contest.

This game is about changing the world. It’s about fighting for something you believe in and care about and either saving it or seeing it destroyed. In this game, the characters are not dropped into a gigantic setting full of places and enemies the players will never face. Every facet of this game is there to be challenged or supported by the players during play. You want to overthrow the Queen?

Go for it. You want to stabilize the social situation of the city? You can. Want to discover the secrets of the ancient places of the world? That’s totally within your grasp. The setting of this game is there to get torn apart and rebuilt by the players according to their vision for it. The GM (Game

Master) is liberated to use anything mentioned in the setting section or serve up any NPC to the players as a challenge. Regard nothing as sacrosanct in this game. Playing Dreadsands means challenging yourself to find something you like or don’t like and making it better. Canon is a dead word here.

Created for the 2011 24 Hour RPG Project “Movie Mashup”.

In “All The King’s Men”, you take the role of soldiers in the employ of King John as you hunt down traitors to the crown. This game combines themes from Apocalypse Now and Robin Hood (1922).

This is a genuinely playable game, examining questions of trust issues, relationships and consequences. It’s for a GM and one player, probably running 30 to 40 minutes (I may be underestimating the time).

Banned at the forge! Therefore == must see! Check out this actually not all that controversial game! Beware, if you don’t mind satirising other peoples culture but find a satire of your own culture too close to the bone, this isn’t for you.

Created for the 2011 24 Hour RPG Project “Movie Mashup”.

“Spade vs. Indy” pits two archetypical characters against each other – a hard-knuckled professor of archaeology and an evenly hard-knuckled private eye. This deceitful, backstabby game inherits the effective pulp storytelling of Indiana Jones and the dense, dark noir atmosphere of The Maltese Falcon. With playing card-based game mechanics.
